Suggest Treatment For Severe Head Lice Infestation
I had agotten a severe case of head lice, did all the cleaning, washing, spraying, and used rid x on my head. It started itching and the eggs were appearing that night. Again! So I colored my hair. As soon as I was done...it is still mostly there. What do I do...? Help
You may need to use permethrin lotion locally as it can be very helpful and safe to be used. For lice the formulation available is 1 percent permtherin unlike scabies and may be the only treatment required however, local hygiene must be insured with repeated cleansing, and using anti histamines like cetrizine or loratidine for itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Regards,
